Lo Mejor 2012: El inglés Stephen Wildish hizo un alfabeto con filmes de los 60, 70, 80 y 90
Las redes sociales lo han convertido en la nueva estrella del firmamento web. Es que el diseñador inglés Stephen Wildish tuvo la idea de hacer unos alfabetos donde cada letra coincidía con el nombre de una película de cine moderno. Así uno puede encontrar los alfabetos armados con filmes de los 60, 70, 80 y 90. Este poder de síntesis de convertir una película en una única imagen nos llevó a entrevistarlo, en forma exclusiva para Visualmente, para sumarlo a nuestra sección Minimalismo. Él dedica sus fines de semana para trabajar en este tipo de ideas, los llamados “Proyectos de viernes”.

6. Why did you choose the decades of the 60, 80 and 90?
